None of the warning signs we check for were found.

We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.

We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 14 Aug 2026, and no later 8-Ks.

Cheap for a reason is the question the numbers cannot answer.

Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.

• Strategic Review of Portfolio — Our strategic review of our portfolio may cause disruptions to our business, may not result in the completion of transactions to restructure or divest all non-core businesses, and may not create additional value for our shareholders.

  Could happen

  In August 2025, we announced that we had completed a review of portfolio-related strategic alternatives and identified businesses with combined sales of approximately $2.5 billion for further investigation, which could result in restructuring or sale of the identified businesses, among other options. While we have completed, or are in the process of completing, transactions to divest non-core businesses comprising approximately $500 million of the total non-core portfolio identified, there is no assurance as to the timeline or outcome of the completion of the strategic review process, including that actions taken will increase shareholder value. In addition, the strategic review process may require the deployment of significant resources and expenses and may cause disruption in our business given speculation and uncertainty around our ultimate actions. If we are unable to mitigate these or other potential risks related to our strategic review of our portfolio, then this process may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

• Artificial Intelligence — Our use of artificial intelligence technologies could adversely affect our business and financial results.

  Could happen

  We are increasingly leveraging AI technologies, including data analytics and machine learning, across our business, including in R&D, operational processes, and other functional areas. While these technologies present opportunities to enhance efficiency, innovation, and decision-making, they may not perform as intended and could generate outputs that are inaccurate, incomplete, or unreliable.

  Could happen

  Further, the unauthorized or improper use of open-source AI tools or generative platforms by employees or third parties could result in the inadvertent disclosure or misuse of our confidential information or intellectual property. Any of these factors could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

• Integration — We may face challenges with integrating acquisitions and achieving the financial and other results and benefits anticipated at the time of acquisition.

  Could happen

  We may face challenges in integrating our acquisitions with our existing operations. The successful integration of acquisitions is complex and potential difficulties we may encounter as part of any integration process include, but are not limited to, the following: employees may voluntarily or involuntarily separate from employment with us or the acquired businesses because of the acquisitions; our management may have its attention diverted while trying to integrate the acquired businesses; we may encounter obstacles when incorporating the acquired businesses into our operations and management; we may be required to recognize impairment charges; integration may be more costly or more time consuming and complex or less effective than anticipated; and increased risk of cybersecurity incidents. Future acquisitions also could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, and depreciation and amortization expenses related to certain tangible and intangible assets and increased operating expenses, all of which could, individually or collectively, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

• Artificial Intelligence — Our use of artificial intelligence technologies could adversely affect our business and financial results.

  Could happen

  The development and deployment of AI involves significant operational, legal, regulatory, and reputational risks, and there can be no assurance that our use of AI will result in the anticipated benefits. In addition, our vendors and third-party partners may incorporate AI into their products or services in ways that do not comply with existing or evolving laws, regulations, or industry standards, which could expose us to additional risk.
